Wales to consult on greyhound racing ban
Dr Samantha Gaines, head of the RSPCA's companion animals department, said: "This is a huge moment for dog welfare."
Mark Bird, CEO of the Greyhound Board of Great Britain , said the "licensed sport, which places the welfare of greyhounds as its highest priority, welcomes the opportunity to continue our engagement with the Welsh government and Members of the Senedd on this issue". Wales' only operating track - Valley Greyhounds- is not currently GBGB licensed but aims to be so by January 2024.
